Willie Nelson spent 19 years at Columbia Records. It was during these years that Nelson reached the peak of his career, consistently topping the country charts and occasionally ascending the pop charts as well ("Always On My Mind," for one, was a #1 hit on both the country and pop charts). 16 BIGGEST HITS collects, for the first time, all of Nelson's best-known recordings from this period on a single disc. From his first #1 record, 1975's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," to his last, 1989's "Nothing I Can Do About It Now," Willie Nelson dominated this era of country music. 16 BIGGEST HITS demonstrates why. It's hard to imagine a country fan who doesn't know at least a few of these recordings by heart. The most successful of them--Nelson's composition "On The Road Again" and his covers of "Georgia On My Mind" and "Always On My Mind"--have reached that pantheon of "songs you've heard so many times you could never forget them, even if you wanted to." A great introduction to one of country's great artists, as are the other records in Columbia's 16 BIGGEST HITS series, which include anthologies of George Jones, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, and Tammy Wynette.
